The North South Divide, again.
Discussion
So yesterday I travelled from the far north of England to the south, a place I know to be strange but where the streets are paved with gold.
When I reached the south I had occasion to stop in Toddington Services at the bottom bit of the M1.
No sooner had I stepped out of the car than I was accosted by a rich southern beggar, asking for £1.50. I knew he was a rich beggar because rather than wanting a few coppers of change for a Greggs pasty, or a can of Ace like you get from good old northern beggars, he wanted it for petrol . A rich beggar indeed if he can run a car.
So my point, the accepted nature of the economy in this country is that people in the south work hard and earn their money and pay taxes which then passes through the hands of the tax man and is given to the north in the form of a wealth transfer where we fritter it away on scratch cards and having Tea for evening meal.
Surely this beggar can not be expecting poor people from the north to transfer it back so he can buy petrol? Will one of you southerners please have a word with your beggars and instruct them in the way wealth is transferred in this country please? Thanks.
Now where are those streets paved with gold........

There's this one female beggar in Coventry who I've bumped into a few times, asking for some loose change for the bus - On every occasion, she was fairly well dressed, had her hair done, face full of make up, and didn't seem to be an alcoholic/drunk. I was irritated by that, so I made her go away by asking her if she would suck my **** for a fiver.

The north / south divide starts at Watford.
He was one of yours.
The north south divide starts at the Thames, anyone living north of the Thames is a northern monkeyHe was one of yours.
It's a wonder us north east Londoners are as sane and well mannered as we are being surrounded as we are on all sides by peasants.

I can't resist it after the umpteen pages on British Asian's, (and no doubt it will turn into an argument)Therefore, with this tact and skillful word play, are you still wondering why you haven't had a white girl ?!!
nb, you could just go to a council estate, it would then be easy pickings btw.
